MTV and Russel Brand: Repeating the Same Mistake


When will MTV learn?

After two Russel Brand MTV Video Music Awards hosting gigs, both filled with offensive rants and thousands of dollars worth of live cursing to pay for, you would think that the mega media company would be smart and let the British comedian (recently divorced from pop-star Katy Perry) remain unemployed.

He has not hosted an MTV show since 2009, and we all expected it to remain that way. Until, recently, MTV announced that Brand would host their upcoming Movie Awards. In light of his recent divorce drama, is this a good idea?

Don't get me wrong; I think Brand is hysterical. I loved his past two hosting gigs. But I was one of the few.

Will Brand learn from his past hosting gig mistakes? Is MTV just hoping for a ratings spike after this publicity? Will Katy Perry still show up?
